Aether Suite 3.4.0 – Operation Verthandi

Another one? Yes. Another one. When you’re motivated, you just gotta keep going. It’s another pretty big one too. A lot of new stuff added. Some big, some small. Here’s the changelog:

Quadrupled the effective size of Ehlnofey’s Landing

Added Apartment 28-3

Added Apartment Block 92-A

Added Apartment 3-6

Added Apartment 4-9

Added May Queen Beep²

Added The Last Man Standing

Added The White Room

Added Guttersnipes

Added Unlocked Depository

Expanded the alpha attractor field

Optimised and overhauled various textures and meshes

Updated various locations to include some of the newer clutter

So lots of new bits and bobs to see this time. Some new unique locations again. In the interest of informing those of you who hadn’t realised what “expanded the alpha attractor field” actually means, it means that I’ve added new things or locations to the second world line. I’m not gonna tell you where or what they are, and you won’t find them on any of the maps. You have to do a little exploration to root them out. Just a little motivation for folks to really explore. Never know what you might find! I also did various optimisations and fixes again this time, so hopefully things are continuing to get easier on people’s GPUs (except Ehlnofey’s Landing, because it’s HUGE now, but actually my FPS there didn’t even change) and look better at the same time, since I’ve been replacing some of the older crappier textures and utilising different methods to provide better visual quality with lower res textures.

P.S. I’ve been trying not to go full beggar again but the next few months are gonna be serious money troubles for me, so if there are any kind souls out there who feel like donating to help pay for the server these next couple of months, I’d be mighty grateful. And a reminder, since I always like to mention it, donations or not, the site won’t go down and the mods won’t stop coming.

Also, please put in the comments if you’d like to be thanked, and if so, what you’d like me to call you by. No one ever notes it and I never know if people want to be thanked. I certainly don’t want to be thanking people by their real names!

Hi! Big fan here! Would like to know how much a monthly server fee actually is? Or is it even monthly? I’d like to donate but I don’t want to go underboard or overboard (by my standards) I still use Paypal Can’t wait to check out the new update as well!

This server is 25 euros per month for a full remote desktop setup. It runs a number of services (not just this site). When I ask for donations, they usually cover me for a fair few months, and then I will match the same number of months the donations covered me for.

Hey Halo, love the update. There was a small problem I had kinda ran into, not sure if it’s on my end or not, but whenever I go into the Dibella outfitters, if I go through the door to where the changing rooms are, if I go all the way to the back of the room, and go into the right corner, I instantly crash. :/

I have just one thing to tell you Halofarm: Holy shit you work fast, don’t take this as an insult, it is an good thing, you spent quite a bit of time without updating the mod and now as fast as an bullet you release not one, not two, but THREE new builds! I can’t wait to be able to play this, I remember the day I stumbled upon this mod, I don’t remember wich build it was, but I do remember that I was looking for it simply because there was another mod using your textures (Don’t know if they got permission from you or not, or if they need one, the name of the mod is something like Skyrim Observatory and is on the Steam Workshop) and I needed your files for that mod, then I came searching, I tought it was just an simple and uninteristing mod that I simply needed the files within, then I found out it was a full-fledged mod adding tons of new content and areas to explore, the things you find when you look outside the realms of Steam Workshop and Skyrim Nexus are incredible to say the least.

Hi there, I’ve downloaded the last version, done a clean save, installed the new version and I don’t have any of the new areas.
On the landing zone, if I go to the end, I’m either teleported to red robin plaza or the office.

Have you checked the maps? There are no new exteriors in 3.4.0. Elhnofey’s Landing is just bigger. You simply turn the corner. If you still have the old Ehlnofey’s Landing layout where it’s just one street, then you may have forgotten to overwrite the esp. Otherwise, after a clean save, what you’re describing should be impossible. You can always try it on a new game and see if it works. If it doesn’t work on a new game either, you’ve got the old esp still installed.

Regarding the spell, absolutely not. I took away the spell effects on purpose. I don’t intend to put them back.

For the second, I just went and fixed it when I read your message. It will be correct in the next update. If it’s bothering you that much right now, open the nif in niskope and change the BSInvMarker rotation z to 3140.

I LOVE this mod! I check the site almost everyday for updates. I just thought i’d ask if you were ever considering making more of the modern clothes in here, or if anybody knows where I could get more. I love the stuff you have though. Just need more outfits appropriate for the city.

Hi Halo, I don’t suppose you could make Aether Suite 3.3.0 available again as 3.4.0 prevents Skyrim from loading saves and starting new games on my setup due to an engine overload condition? Sheson, dunc001 and myself have been trying to pin down the exact cause and we’ve made some progress; Sheson’s new versions of DynDOLOD, in my tests have let Aether Suite 3.2.0 load on my setup even though it didn’t before DynDOLOD version 2.19. BTW, this has nothing to do with Aether Suite directly, it’s just that Aether Suite is one of the big mods that provides a hard test for this engine condition that causes a specific CTD when, apparently, a 16bit limit on persistent references per worldspace + parent worldspace is reached.

Anyhow, regardless, I’d like to say that this is one heck of an awesome mod you have put together!

Hello! I am new to your site, and the Aether mod…however after running around in this huge modern environment for the past several hours now, I must say I am very impressed with it! You did a wonderful job. I had a question though about the clothing available in the House of Dibella shop. It seems I cannot wear ANY of the armor or clothing available there, it will either turn me invisible or just assign a vanilla outfit in place of what should be there. I can only assume this is because you use a custom body (bodies?) for these outfits, however after browsing around this forum a bit I was not able to find a link. Any help is greatly appreciated. The clothing is not a HUGE deal for me, but if I was able to wear it that would be awesome, and I would like to tinker around with whatever body supports it

I can’t imagine any reason it would turn you invisible. Are you perhaps using some custom race that isn’t correctly flagged to use “defaultarmor”? Or are you a male character? The outfits are female only. The body type is UNPCM, which is on the UNPCM page in the Mods > Skyrim dropdown, but things shouldn’t be disappearing for you no matter what. That’s very strange.

Yes, I use a custom race…but I am also male lol. I tried going into Race Menu and reverting to a Vanilla Skyrim body (eww) just to test if the armors would work then but they still did not. If it is for female body only though that would explain my issue, thanks. I may tinker around later with swapping my male body meshes with the female ones in the custom race I use and seeing if it switches something on for me, or just piddle around with UNPCM a bit.

Id recommend watching it if you havnt its only a short movie. Its about a world with life like androids that have personality’s and the concept of what constitutes a human-being, It dose in a comical way though. I would love for the cafe to become a place in knox, something about the design and feel of the cafe. Idk check it out you should see what i mean, It has a cool song that playes every-time they enter the cafe

Usually my response to suggestions is simply “no”, but in this case, I’ll consider it, since I happen to really like Eve no Jikan, and you’re 100% correct about the style fitting Knox well. No promises though, since usually what I make for Knox is just whatever takes my fancy at any given moment. I don’t often make plans, but I’ll keep it in mind. I have a lot of assets already which could be used to make such a location. It’d have to be missing the giant windows though, for obvious reasons.

I know how to make animated textures. There’s all over the AS. Don’t go overboard please. There’s nothing more demotivating than having people bugging you about something. I will use my own models to make a rough recreation if and when I make it.
